Last Christmas Roon had a "sale": give someone a subscription for about
30% off (including lifetime, which made it a much better deal). It was
supposed to be for "new" subscribers. But you could give yourself a
subscription by setting up a Roon account (free) and an email address to
send the subscription to. Check and see if they do it again near
Christmas. They will, by the way, also allow you to "top off" a yearly
subscription to a lifetime one if you decide to upgrade - you just pay
the difference in price.

I've always had this problem with my radio & touch and orange squeeze &
squeeze commander. I always thought that this was an issue of the apps.
And unfortunately none of these app is further developed. But when you
haven't had this problem before, there might by an other issue.

@pippin ... I figured out what the issue was. The thought occurred to me
to try the same APPS on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 Tablet,
and neither APP experienced the issue. So the issue appears to be only
on my Nexus-6 (with Marshmallow; possibly other
devices, too). So I'll investigate that with the Applications
developers.

The good news is that this has an answer, and that there is no weirdness
with the SqueezeBox account.

Thank you for your help @pippin! :)

They did. I was happy to have them simply clear the MAC from it's
previous
owner and then I'd perform a factory reset and enter my credentials. But
it didn't happen that way. They actually inserted the device into my
account
(which was already ethernet wired to the network, before I called
them).

I mention this because perhaps when they manually added it they forgot
to reset something. Just mentioning this scenario.

Maybe the MAC wasn't completely purged from other of their databases.

Hello:

Okay,... roger that on controllers not being listed in the mySqueezeBox
account (thank you for the reminder).

_The_apps_:
(1) Orange Squeeze (the purchased version).
(2) Squeeze Commander

In the past, when I wasn't using my Duet (tactile) remote to control my
SqueezeBox Touch, I reliably used either of these apps before.

P.S. My personal wired/wireless network is solid. I have everything
locked down; DHCP assigned; etc. I document everything. =:).

Thanks in advance for you help.

Roon is superior, I wholeheartedly agree.  Roon is expensive, yes.  That
is the only downside I can see.  They are constantly upgrading the
product (unlike LMS).  I'm going for it but I don't think I want a
lifetime license...  Not yet anyway.  Look where Squeezebox went, for

P.S. I also notice that the app-remotes -- while connected (before it
disconnects) -- never show up in the PLAYER section of my
MySqueezeBox.Com account. I forget whether remotes devices are listed
there once registered, but I'm mentioning it just in case.

I think something is happening where the app remotes are disconnecting
from my account for some odd reason. I have to keep killing those app
remotes and re-entering my username and password. And, again, this is
happening with two completely different app remotes. It never happened
before (they were 100% reliable), so it may be related to the new device
on my account. Maybe something wasn't reset properly by tech support.

[slim] SqueezeBox Android Remote App disconnects from MySqueezeBox.Com SqueezeBox Touch ...

2016-04-25 Thread nyceyes

Hello Friends:

I'm very familiar with SqueezeBox (Duet and Touch) having used them for
years. After selling all of my SqueezeBox equipment (players and
remotes), I recently decided to re-buy SB Touch. :)

I, of course, called Logitech Tech Support to have the purchased device
transferred to my personal MySqueezeBox.Com account. I gave them the
email address associated with my account, and the MAC address of the
player.

I then set the player up and it works nicely. No pauses or gaps.

_THE_PROBLEM_:
I have two Android SqueezeBox remote apps which I have authenticated to
my mySqueezeBox.Com account (username & password). The problem is that
they connect for about 20 seconds, and then disconnect with a message
indicating that there is no (Player) device connected to my SqueezeBox
account; and yet there is! The SqueezeBox Touch player never stops
playing and never disconnects.

I never had problems with Andriod-based remotes in the past.

So, is it possible that something associated with the MAC address wasn't
cleared out? Something residual, lingering with either the MAC or with
my account?

Thank you!

I have a couple of Chromecast Audio dongles that I like for casting
Google Music. I had been following RP developments, and an RP3 with an
IQAudio DAC and piCorePlayer became an irresistible experiment.

I really like the results. To my ears, the sound is better than my old
Logitech players. The hardware & software combination handles any file
format in my library. I used the translucent "smoked grey" case that
IQAudio sell, which I find aesthetically very pleasing.

The pieces cost about the same as four Chromecast Audio dongles, but
about half what what I paid for my Squeezebox Touch. For the audio
quality and seamless integration with SBS, that still feels like a
bargain.
